Until now, the "Katarai-za Ohara Honten," along with other sites associated with Saburo Ohara, such as the former Kurashiki Spinning Company's main factory and the Kurashiki Ivy Square, as well as the Japan Folk Crafts Museum, which he financially supported, had few opportunities for archival documentation. We captured these locations in 360-degree video. By combining the 360-degree footage of buildings related to Saburo Ohara with historical photographs and film footage from that time, viewers can now experience a journey through the life of Saburo Ohara.
The "Oharahontei" front parlor, which is typically difficult to access, as well as the "Sanraku-en" garden of the Ohara residence in Kitahakuba, Kyoto, have also been captured in 360-degree video.
Two videos were produced: one focusing on "Corporate Management" and the other on "Social Contribution." These videos allow viewers to experience the dual aspects of Sanaburo Ohara's legacy, encapsulated in his words, "one foot in a shoe and the other in a geta."
This documentary film tracing the footsteps of Sanaburo Ohara, a prominent businessman in Kurashiki, is expected to be utilized as a tourism resource for the region.
